Roland Freeman 3.3

This is intriguing.. a subtle hint of bacon fat, but an unusual smokiness on the finish.. I don't find it overly sweet like many reviews suggest.. a solid bourbon foundation beneath the smoky notes.. more of a novelty and likely not something I'd repurchase, but it was good enough.

Harris Ludwig 5.0

There's a smoky sweetness that's precisely what I was searching for. Not an overwhelming bacon taste, but I do detect those nuances. All things considered, an enjoyable liquor for cocktails, and sort of essential for creative mixed drinks, though a bit unconventional.

Daniela Ashworth 5.0

The name 'Ol' Major Bacon Bourbon' isn't my favorite... but the drink itself... I first tried it at a bar sometime ago and loved it. I bought a bottle and created my own Bacon Old Fashioneds. Absolutely delicious!

Carl Hutton 1.3

Quite disappointing. The aroma had very little bacon, and there was none on the palate or finish. It's somewhat sweet and oily, with a bitter aftertaste.

Mickey Blevins 1.5

No scent or taste of bacon. Not smoky or salty. Very sweet, occupying its own distinct category, similar to 43.

Kate Elias 5.0

It's become a standard at our place for impromptu happy hour (which can be any time of day. Haha).
